Send MIDI notes to external device

I used to send midi notes to an external harmonizer in Logic 9 by defining it as an instrument in the environment and cabling its input to the midi keyboard out.
Just tried this on Logic X and the harmonizer isn't receiving MIDI.
Anyone else?

Hmm.. sorry - rebooted harmonizer - ok now.

My Macbook pro will not recognize external devices

My MacBook Pro will not recongize external devices such as hard drives

I know that is of no help, but I have the same problem with a Toshiba harddrive. My wifes Macbook Air recognizes it. No problem with the hd I guess. But my macbook pro won't show it in the Finder, About this mac or disk utility - even though it is running. I would also be glad to get a solution to this.

Recording midi from an external device

When I record a midi pattern from an external groovebox into logic the pattern slows down during the recording and goes out of time.
I have the external device set to "mid slave" so it should be using Logics midi clock.
any help would be much appreciated!

the slower machine must be used as master
The groovebox is slower than Logic....
I hope that it is able to send MMC.
use Logic as Slave... or do the recording without sync
you will be able to adjust the BPM in Logic manually after recording

Satellite L750 will not register external devices

About a few days ago my wireless mouse, a Logitech M325, stopped working. I replaced the batteries and performed tests with official software and determined that the USB port was not being read. Soon after I noticed that my iPod would not sync or charge and would not open in Windows Explorer (I use Windows 7).
Additionally none of my SD Cards will be read on my computer.
Please help, this is very frustrating and I'd like it to be fixed ASAP!

You could try to reinstall the USB hubs and controllers which are available in device manager.
Disconnect all external USB devices firstly. Then go to control panel -> device manager.
Here scroll down and find the USB hubs and controllers.
Delete each USB device and reboot the system.
After new reboot, it will take some time until windows system has recognized and installed the USB ports again.
Then you should connect an USB mouse and should test the port functionality.
Even if your wireless mouse would not work again, I strongly recommend to test the USB ports in connection with different USB devices like USB flash memory stick or different USB mouse
Just because one USB device does not work, this does not mean that your USB ports are faulty.

Satellite P100: USB/Fire-Wire ports not charging external device

When I plug my ipod into either my 4 pin fire-wire port or a USB port on my laptop (satellite P100) it fails to charge, even when plugged in to the mains/ A/C power. I think I have found where I need to go in 'control panel' but need help on how to allow my fire-wire and USB ports to give out power and charge my ipod when its connected.
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi
The USB ports provide automatically the power. Usually every USB port provides about 500mA.
But please note; the notebook must run and the external USB device (iPod) must be recognized by Windows OS!
I dont know if the iPod was recognized by WinOS but I have read the many users have problems with the iPod installation on Windows OS. As far as I know the iTunes must be installed if you want to use the iPod.

FCP 3.04 Not Finding External Device? Help

I am trying to connect my Canon GL1 to a Powerbook G3 400 with 2 firewire ports running FCP 3.04.
FCP keeps telling me that there is no device found?
I tried changing to different settings but nothing works.
The weirdest thing is that iMovie see and controls and captures just fine.
I am working on big project. Normaly iMovie would be fine, but we have 20 some DV tapes to capture and I want the ability to catogorize and label these files.
Please help.
SOS
Cheers

You may be suffering from the dread 'Canon firewire confusion'.
Not all Canon cameras have connection issues, but hanging around this site I've come to recognize their ability to connect in FCP is the most problematic of all the camera brands. If you have a Canon camcorder, and can not get it to connect up with FCP, the following is a way to sort through the issues and get it to work. Some are elegant - some are ugly.
Before we go any farther
-you should be using 'Firewire Basic' as the control protocol. If you aren't, go change it and try again.
-Also, verify that you have a solid installation of Quicktime. You may want to reinstall it using the 'delete receipts' method. Do a quick search here on the site - it is mentioned daily if not hourly.
With some confidence that the software installation and camera settings are correct ... the most direct solution is to purchase another, non-Canon device to use as your capturing machine. The Sony DSR-11 is highly recommended for DV work. A deck will save wear and tear on the camera's lightweight drive mechanism and will allow you to permanently connect a NTSC/PAL monitor for proper viewing. If you are working with HDV, you may have other issues ...
Beyond that, the path you take depends on the model of computer you own.
1. If you have a G5 tower or a MacPro, capture to a second internal drive with only the camera attached. If you need to move material to firewire drive, disconnect the camera. A second internal drive is quite inexpensive these days if you do not already have one.
2. If you have a G5 tower (PCI) MacPro (PCI), G4 powerbook (PCMCIA) or MacBookPro (Expresscard 43) with an available slot, purchase the appropriate firewire card for the slot. Connect your camera to the card and you should be good to go. The new card creates a unique bus and will avoid collisions with the external drives.
3. If you do not have a slot or a second internal drive and you are stuck with the camera, welcome to the camera/drive shuffle.
- shut down and remove the external hard drive(s) from the system
- connect the camera directly to the firewire port of the computer
- start the camera then the computer
- capture to your internal (system) hard drive
- shut down the camera and computer
- disconnect the camera and reconnect the external hard drive(s)
- start hard drive(s) and computer
- move captured files to external hard drive(s)
- edit
If you output back to tape or wish to view your work on an external Video (NTSC or PAL) monitor, you need to set up the camera to use the firewire out as the A/DV converter or VTR - which means reversing the steps:
- copy the file back to the internal drive
- shut everything down
- disconnect the external drive(s)
- connect the camera to the firewire port (and the TV to the camera if needed)
- start the camera then the computer
- play the file.
One caveat here - You may have difficulty getting the file back to tape without dropping frames. Playing files off of the system drive is very demanding and they may have a hard time keeping up.
All in all, if you do not have the option for second bus (i.e. iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, MacBooks) you may want to think about a computer with expandable options next time.
There is the option of capturing using iMovie, but that brings on it's own set of problems and is not recommended.
Good luck.

Does anyone have problems with sending iMessages not depending on devices the last days, too?

We have 4 iPhone 4 iOS 5.1.1 and a MBP Early 2011 OS X 10.8, and there are problems sending iMessages on any of these devices the last days.
Just the red ! and "Not send" appears. Sometimes the messages is send regardless, but mostly not!

Hello
I agree with the user above. I think you have to change the power plan. If you surf in the Internet or write something in Word just switch to Power Saver power plan. This power plan will save a lot of battery power and also reduce the display brightness to enhance the battery life.
Furthermore here is an interesting article about the power management features of Windows:

Finder does not display external devices

Today when I woke up, and turned on my macbook, and connected my time machine and 'general use' disk, they didn't appear on the desktop. Not in the finder under devices either. According to terminal they're both mounted. Other programs can access files on the disks. Time machine cannot seem to backup however, and spotlight indexing also seems to fail on the other disk.
I can still access files on them through spotlight (although I didn't remember the name of any file on the time machine disk, so no good there), and thus eject one of them by dragging the window icon into the trash can.
The time machine disk is USB, and the other one Firewire. I have never had this problem before, and Leopard has worked just fine two days before this.

Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Recovery issue: did not disconnect external devices

and now none of my drivers are working, missing drivers, and catalyst control center is not adaptable to graphics card, this is a short list of my probles. but when i left my mouse in the usb port and ran image recovery it dismounted hdd, they sent me a clean hdd new and i used recovery again but i didnt know i still had memory problems, this might be a cause, when i run minimized recovery it works i wont get any messages but when i use factory recovery the computer will start in 800x600 and thats y i know i have a malfunction. ran mem and hdd test alreaady, think i had a bad recovery from when i had bad memory?

If you are sure your memory is good now, would it be a good idea to run the recovery again?

Sending midi via Motif USB to Logic.

Can someone explain how to set up my Mac,Logic pro 9 & Motif es6 to send midi note messages to Logic? I just need to use my Motif as a midi controller.I downloaded the drivers on my Mac & hopefully it is there!
Thanks.

If it is installed correctly then...
Open Logic, create a new project... add a software instrument track... (You can add a software instrument to that track to hear notes at this point too) select that track.. and just play notes on your Motif6 and look at the transport bar to see if those notes are being received by Logic... They will appear under Note In...
If midi notes are not received then the Motif is not being recognised correctly by your Mac.. (It's actually nothing to do with Logic itself.. it's OS Xand the drivers you installed that control everything) and so you need to check you installed the drivers correctly but normally, it's pretty much plug and play....

Record midi notes from reason?

I was wondering if there is any way to send midi notes from reason back into logic (other than exporting regions) :P
The reason I want to do this is because I am addicted to the Matrix editor in reason... it's such a fun scratchpad
-S

You mean the Matrix editor in Logic, dont you?
No, there is actually a matrix editor in reason too.... It's basically a pattern sequencer that makes it feel like you are working on a TB-303
Well, not quite that good :P but it's fun.
It's basically an analog style sequencer.... gives you CV type outputs if you want
I tried to get the exact link that explains it, but it just shows up as...

Do a search for "matrix" it is the first one in the list

MainStage does not control external midi devices

in the Environment I can use the "External Instrument" object to be able to access external legacy devices such as synths and effects units. Since this capability already existed in the Environment, why wasn't it added to MainStage? I have seen this feature request on almost all "rack" type hosting systems such as NI Kore, and it seems to be a terrible oversight on the part of Apple. Can we supplement this by using MainStage objects in the Environment or somehow add this capability using Environment objects to bring this feature to MainStage?

well I think it should be a little more than just able to send program changes. It should also be able to access the continuous controller mapping through the MainStage layout, it should pass through all midi notes, etc. to the device and it should be able to act as a conduit for the midi clock / tempo features of MainStage. But yes, it doesn't appear to be that difficult to create; you know ... if Apple had thought of it, they could have actually used the External Instrument object which they discuss at great length in Chapter 10 "Working With Instruments and Effects".
Someone really didn't think this through ... this is fundamental.
P.S. I came across this AU plugin that was designed for GarageBand for the same purpose. Its missing a few things like the ability to send an initial program change and I am not sure if it can pass through midi control from another external controller such as guitar, keyboard, etc. I sent an email to the developer with suggestions. Its called MidiO:

Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
(Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
There's also a sound of static.
The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

Logic Pro X keeps sending C0 notes to midi out when record is armed on a audio track

I have a annoying problem with Logic Pro X, which I bought a month ago. Here's al little scenario that describes the problem.
I disconnect my audio interface, so that Logic Pro has to rely on my MacBook Pro's internal audio. This way I exclude my RME-FF800 from being of any influence.
I start up the Midi Monitor tool, to analyse what comes out of Logic; MIDI-wise.
I start up Logic set up a small test project in Logic Pro X, that contains:1 audio track
There's little button on the audio track with a red-colored "R". This is the button to "arm" this track for recording audio.
I push the little "R" button, the R-character turns white, the button as a whole turns red. The button starts blinking.
From this moment on Logic starts sending MIDI messages ....... huh? Every second or so ... a low C.
In my regular studio setup this means that I hear a low repeated note coming out of my piano, every time I record audio. How annoying!!
By the way ... a Guitar/Bass track has the same problem. All the other track types (External midi, software instrument, drummer) don't have this problem.
Help is deeply appreciated, because it drives me crazy and if I can't fix this .... I think I have to return to my previous DAW-of-choice (Cubase 7.5).

The note is likely being sent out because of a Control Surface you have installed or used.... be it a hardware keyboard, controller or even an ipad controller app... such as Logic Remote or TouchOSC for example... or even an iOS software synth app that is sending midi over wireless....
So.. first make sure you have force quit any iPad/iPhone Logic/midi related apps and not just closed them..
Then if that doesn't fix things.. delete Logic's CS preferences... and Logic's own user preferences too...as described here..
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Do not forget to Quit Logic before doing this and then restart the Mac after doing this....

Audio to midi error - check conflict with external device - apogee rosetta

hey there
i have a problem and any help is much appreciated..
basically i am running a quad xeon dual 2.66 machine under 10.4.10 and using logic 7.2. 1 gig ram.
i am using a apogee rosetta 800 with the option x firewire card for my audio interface.
whenever i set a track up to record and 'play' logic i get a message saying,
'unable to sync audio to midi check conflict with external device' and then it says something like sample rate 43021 recognised.. something close to 44100 but not quite..
so i think my problem is a clocking/sync one maybe? i have tried everything i could think of, including fixes suggested on the forums here, but nothing so far seems to help e.g making sure autosync in on the transport is unchecked, checking audio MIDI setup.
worryingly with the few problems similar to this on the forums there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it!!
anybody who could help would be a lifesaver.. this is destroying my workflow!! emailed apogee and im waiting for a reply.
thank you very much
richie

Hi,
Ok, then there can be a few more possibilities,
Try this: unplug your Rosetta, and any other FireWire devices you might have. Basicallly you want to start Logic with the internal audio.
If this works ok, then it is not an issue with the Mac's hardware, and is an issue with a FW device.
Then, quit Logic, and plug in the Rosetta by itself. Boot Logic, and select it as the audio interface. Try playing stuff back. does it work? If yes, then the issue is with another FW device. If there is a issue, then there might be a corrupt driver, a bad FW cable, etc. Keep trying one by one to go through re-installing the drivers, and also try changing the FW cable. If this still does not solve it, there might be an issue with the Mac OS 10.4.10. You might need to install Pro App support 4.0. Also, there was a fix available from Apple not so long ago specifically for FW audio devices. Please do a search in Apple's suport site for "FireWire audio device" and see if you find the patch.
If the Rosetta works when it is the only FW device hooked up to the Mac, then you have a conflict with another device, like a FW hard drive, etc... check each one until you find the culprit.
Cheers
